Quickhash-GUI

Quickhash-GUI is a free, open-source file hashing utility for macOS that computes cryptographic checksums (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and other algorithms) for files and directories. It is used by system administrators, security professionals, software developers and archivists to verify file integrity, detect corruption, confirm downloads match published hashes, and validate data transfers. The app provides a graphical interface to a collection of hashing algorithms without requiring command-line knowledge.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Quickhash-GUI version 3.3.4 has been tested by its developer on both Intel Macs (Core i9 on Monterey) and Apple Silicon Macs (M1 on Sonoma), and the developer confirms it runs successfully on M-series hardware. However, the search results do not explicitly state whether the binary shipped with version 3.3.4 is a Universal Binary (native arm64 + Intel), an Intel-only build that happens to run under Rosetta 2, or a native-only arm64 build. To determine which you have and whether an update is necessary: download the latest version from quickhash-gui.org, run the installer, and verify the build architecture by opening Terminal and typing "file /Applications/QuickHash\ GUI.app/Contents/MacOS/QuickHash\ GUI" — if it reports "Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64" it is native, or "universal binary" it includes native support. If it still shows "Intel i386" you are running under Rosetta and should confirm with the developer whether a true Universal Binary or native arm64 build is available, since Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028).
